Montgomery Montessori Institute (MMI) was founded in 1994 for individuals interested in becoming certified early childhood Montessori educators. In 2009, MMI's Infant-Toddler program was born to meet the increasing demand for the care and education of children from birth to age two. Both programs are proud to be accredited by MACTE (Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education). MMI is also approved as a private career school by the Maryland Higher Education Commission.

Located on the campus of The Franklin Schools in Rockville, Maryland, MMI has established a carefully designed early childhood teacher education program in response to the critical community and nationwide need for qualified and inspiring early childhood educators.

Anchored in the teaching philosophy and methodology formulated by Dr. Maria Montessori, MMI's programs focus on the developmental needs of the child within a context of freedom and structure.

MMI's two-phased Early Childhood Program consists of an Academic Phase which begins in early June and continues for eight consecutive weeks to early August with classes held from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and a Practicum Phase from September to June.

Both programs are comprised of student-teaching and workshops providing an excellent internship opportunity in the classroom of an approved supervising teacher.

MMI prides itself on a fine student-teacher ratio and history of very successful graduates.
